O.J. Simpson mistakenly called 90 years old in awkward moment at parole hearing

O.J. Simpson's parole hearing on Thursday stemming from a 2008 armed robbery conviction had a brief moment of levity when the former NFL star was wrongly identified as recently turning 90 years old -- when in fact Simpson celebrated his 70th birthday last week.

"We have that you are currently -- well very recently you turned 90 years old," said a Nevada parole board member which elicited a big laugh from Simpson who responded by saying, "I feel 90s years old."

The blunder caused the courtroom to erupt in laughter as the parole board member said, "You look great for 90!"

The somewhat awkward moment came during Simpson's appearance in front of the Nevada parole board, pleading for his freedom over a 2008 conviction involving an armed robbery two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.

"If I would've made a better judgment back then none of this would have happened and I take full responsibility," Simpson said on Thursday.
